LindaLu and Myrto, THANK YOU!

I'm sitting here feeling badly for not being more understanding...for overreacting...but I agree. After a 10 minute phone call, I don't even recall what we were talking about! I do sometimes have a hard time getting going, so, when her phone rang 15 minutes into my session, I lost it (in my mind....my concentration). It took quite awhile, but I finally regained it, and disclosed some things I've been holding back for 8-9 months, and then BOOM, it's over. I'd just started talking again. That extra 1o minutes could have made all the difference!!

Just to update, T Emailed me late last night. Here's what it said:

Thank you for telling me another piece about XXXXX. I can only imagine how hard it is for you to remember and then share these fragments that together weave a picture that matches the extent of your struggle. Meaning real abuse is what you are trying to recover from.
And that takes infinite patience and a lot of time. Trauma does not let go of a person readily.

Trust me if you can, don't try so hard, let it happen. It will. Just only in it's own time.

Nothing about disruption.....or the anger I obviously felt when I was booted out of there. I'm very sensitive, I know I am, and I DO have a hard time talking. So that she got ANYTHING after the phone call is pretty amazing. And,she got some big stuff. I couldn't face her when I told her. In fact, I didn't face her the entire session....I have a hard time with that.

I think, without the phone call, it would have been an ok session. But it took me out of my mode....
